    My 10 year old has been really interested in coding and this was a great place for him to start. He truly is a beginner and this program has taught him the basics and even held this adult noob. It was really easy to install and easy to understand and they made it fun. Highly recommend

    I thought this was a great idea and could work well. I do networking as a profession and never got into coding which I really wanted to. I could never find the time so I tried this to get started. The only thing is it did not keep my interested long enough to stick with it. If I have time, I may take this up again in the future.

    My 12 year old is really into the hacking as he calls it, but its basically command blocks. All of his knowledge is from his friends and word of mouth, so I got this hoping to provide him some structured lessons about the meaning behind the command blocks and their full capabilities. I do like that the lessons are bite-sized, about 5 minutes of lessons, and 5 minutes of follow-along activity which is a pretty good format for something like this. I havent needed to try tech support as the lessons so far hes able to follow along. Im trying to find the right viewing method for this work, but so far watching the lessons on an iPad next to the computer running Minecraft seems to work best. Its less clumsy than losing focus with multiple windows with lessons and Minecraft on the same machine. Looking forward to the rest of the lessons being released and will update the review accordingly. Pretty happy so far.

    My son loves Minecraft, so in the hopes of sneaking in some education, I ordered this for him. The set up is pretty typical, just create an account and off you go. While you could probably search for similar lessons on YouTube or elsewhere, its nice to have them in one place, especially when its for a 9 year old who learns better when everything is given in a seamless order. Its definitely holding his attention, as hes gone back to it repeatedly over his holiday break!

    My 8 y/o is a Minecraft nerd, and just generally very interested in nerdy tech stuff, so this seemed perfect for him. He had asked me about command blocks before, but my computer expertise doesnt stretch far beyond Excel/VBA and the EHR system our hospital uses.

    Our 13yo son lives and breathes Minecraft and we thought this would be a fun way to convert his playtime into learning time. Clear instructions. Im a software engineer by training and this is a nice intro to coding.

    I got this for my son who is an intermediate player of Minecraft. He appreciated the various tips and tricks he learned during the play of this program. It takes you through some useful builds that he has then applied to his Minecraft play. Overall he has seemed to benefit from the practice at coding. Great STEM program for kids who are into Minecraft!

    Unfortunately this has not held my sons attention like I hoped it would. He absolutely adores Minecraft and is really wanting to learn how to do more with it, so I was really hoping this would draw him in. Unfortunately the classes arent really great. They feel more like a Udemy course aimed at a much older audience than what the description provides, which, especially for the price, is the biggest drawback. The team could take some lessons from popular youtube personalities on how to draw kids in and keep them engaged.

    TLDR; 100% online course; requires creating accounts, seems easy enough to follow for my 10yr old kid
